Sometimes life brings moments that are painful, confusing, or harder than you expected them to be. Afterwards, you may be left overwhelmed and carrying something heavy: grief, sadness, or a sense of disconnection. Or you might simply be longing for something more. Maybe things look fine on the outside, but inside you feel a quiet ache. You may be yearning to know yourself more fully or to feel whole in a way that has always been just out of reach. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel supported, and begin listening to what has been waiting beneath the surface.

Navigating the challenges of life can be incredibly demanding, and I wholeheartedly recognize the courage and vulnerability it takes to reach out for help. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of sitting with truly remarkable humans who come into my office and let down their guard to share their authentic emotions and experiences. It's remarkable that in the world outside my office, these individuals often seem to present with flawless life and to "have it all". Yet, in my office, they reveal the emotions they've felt compelled to conceal in their pursuit of seeming "enough."

Many of us believe we should have everything figured out, but it's normal to feel lost at times or struggle to understand ourselves. Maybe you long for meaning, authenticity, and connection, but often life feels like something you’re just pushing through. Moving forward requires deeply understanding ourselves, examining past wounds, challenging limiting beliefs, and even facing parts of ourselves we prefer to ignore. This journey is easier with a compassionate guide who offers non-judgmental support and curiosity, and who can help support you as you work through difficult emotions and patterns to build a life you enjoy.

My experience includes rape crisis center work, a local child grief support agency, counseling sexual abuse/ assault survivors and their caregivers, and counseling adult clients through loss and overwhelming life adjustments.
Hello! I recently transitioned out of nine years of nonprofit trauma work, and I also currently see clients at Empowerment Behavioral Health Counseling & Consulting, LLC. You may contact me now to schedule a free phone consultation. I prioritize a collaborative therapeutic relationship, empathic support, and a judgment-free space. Using an integrative approach to therapy and a "bottom-up" trauma recovery framework, I help individual clients and couples to identify and overcome barriers. EMDR has proven to be helpful for clients who have already tried talk therapy or who don't want to talk about the details of their situations.

Sexual Abuse Therapists
How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.

Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.

How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.

Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
